In so doing it supports the prosperity of both Northern Ireland and the whole of the UK.</p><p>As Tony Blair recently noted, political stability is the best way to protect the union between Northern Ireland and Great Britain and by fixing the problems with the Protocol and restoring the delicate balance inherent in the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, we have provided a sound basis for Northern Ireland to move forward economically and politically as an integral and prosperous part of the United Kingdom.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 23/03/2023 11:31:48 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris previous answer version 64341 answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
